Open Letter to the Prime Minister From: Jean-Claude Basque < [email protected] > Open letter to the Prime Minister August 31, 2000 The Right Honourable Jean Chrétien Prime Minister of Canada House of Commons Room 309-S, Centre Block Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A6 Dear Prime Minister Chrétien: We, the undersigned, have followed the situation evolving in the fisheries since the Supreme Court of Canada rendered its decision in the Marshall case. We are very concerned by the attitude and actions of our government in this matter especially in regard to the Native community of Esgenoopetitj (Burnt Church). We have seen on the news (August 29, 2000), some appalling actions organized by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. These actions are violent and are certainly not conducive to a peaceful negotiated settlement. Such settlement will only be achieved if and when your government acknowledges that Section 35 of the 1982 Canadian Constitution recognizes aboriginal and treaty rights which include, according to the Supreme Court of Canada decision in Sparrow, the First Nations of Canada right to a fishery for food and ceremonial purposes; and according to the Marshall decision, a treaty right for First Nations in Atlantic Canada to earn a moderate livelihood from the fishery. Any negotiations which are not rooted in such a basic acknowledgment are destined to fail. We urge you, Prime Minister, to get personally involved before it is too late. Real negotiations between the community of Esgenoopetitj and the Federal Government should start without any further delay. Signed Jean Arnold, Executive Director, Fall Brook Centre, Knowsville, N.

  • Imprint in the Sand New Brunswick's Place in the World
    Imprint in the Sand New Brunswick’s Place in the World presented by Next NB/Avenir N-B It is time for New Brunswickers to talk to each other. Our province and our region face some challenges, which means both must confront some difficult questions. Just as our nation seeks to redefine its role in the world economically, militarily and diplomatically, so too must New Brunswick’s citizens decide for themselves their place in Canada. Next NB/Avenir N-B will do that through a series of discussion papers it will release between February 2004 and June 2005. These papers will be supported by public forums held throughout New Brunswick and will culminate with a conference in Saint John. Next NB/Avenir N-B will be a bilingual project to reflect New Brunswick’s nature and its distinction as the only officially bilingual province in Canada. Next NB/Avenir N-B is a unique opportunity to explore what New Brunswickers think about themselves, their province and its place in Canada and the world. Please join us in the conversation. To obtain additional copies of this discussion paper or to offer your comments, please visit our website at www.nextnb.ca or write to us at: Next NB/Avenir N-B University of New Brunswick PO Box 5050 100 Tucker Park Road Saint John, NB Canada E2L 4L5 (506) 648-5655 Imprint in the Sand New Brunswick’s Place in the World In Moncton, they’ve always known the country’s business.
